Maya Carter has spent her life in the shadows, quiet, invisible, and perfectly content to stay that way. But one brutal hockey game shatters her anonymity forever. From beneath the bleachers, she witnesses Liam Black, Millfield High’s golden boy and hockey captain, unleash something monstrous on the ice. His eyes glow molten gold. His strength is inhuman. And when the blood clears, he’s staring straight at her. Liam is everything she should fear, dangerous, untouchable, and hiding a secret that could destroy them both. He’s a werewolf, and against every law of his world, his wolf has chosen Maya as his mate. But being claimed by the school’s most feared boy comes with a price. His jealous ex wants her humiliated, his enemies want her dead, and something ancient and merciless is hunting from the shadows. The deeper Maya falls into Liam’s world, the clearer it becomes: fate doesn’t choose without reason. She may be more than just a “weak human” she may be the one thing standing between Liam’s pack and annihilation. Passion. Danger. Destiny. Once his golden eyes find her, there’s no going back. Beneath the Bleachers is an addictive fated-mates romance filled with secrets, obsession, and a love so forbidden it could burn the world down.

She trusted the two people who should never have hurt her. Then she died for it. Willa woke up in a fog with no phone, no bag, and no idea what came after. What came after was a bus full of dead strangers and a voice that told her the game had already started. The rules are simple. Survive the world they drop you into and you keep going. Refuse, and you disappear like you were never there. Willa has no training. No weapon. No plan.

She does not trust him. She cannot afford not to. Dead Girl Playing is a fast, dark, emotional story about a woman who had nothing left to lose and discovered that is exactly what makes her dangerous.
